Minnie Dlamini -SuperSport’s newest presenter reveals all in this exclusive interview. Stalwart Tinashe Nengomasha dissects the current Amakhosi midfield. Is it finally time for a change in our league calendar?

Minnie Magic

Television empress Minnie Dlamini left the SABC’s Soccer Zone viewers heartbroken when she ended her four year romance with the Monday night show. She came in, not like a wrecking ball, but more like Angelina Jolie in Mr and Mrs Smith: cute and cuddly on the outside but driven and hardcore on the inside. Once she melted all those hardened football supporters’hearts, she unsheathed a painful blow. But, with a new show premiering soon on SuperSport, Minnie is back to mend those broken hearts. Here she speaks exclusively to KICKOFF on why she loves sports so much and what it was like to be the first person in a skirt to co-present Soccer Zone.

The Student

Many football fans know Pitso Mosimane and Manqoba Mngqithi as the high-profile coaches at Mamelodi Sundowns, but forget there’s also Rhulani Mokwena who completes the ‘three musketeers’ of coaches of the Ka BoYellow first team. Mokwena shares how it is to work at Sundowns and what he also brings to the yellow-table that saw the club win their first African Champions League trophy last year. “I’ve been fortunate enough to travel the world. I’ve done my Italian course in 2007 when I was still at Platinum Stars. I’ve travelled to Germany where I met coaches from Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, and Barcelona in 2009; I’ve gone to Manchester and I’ve just comeback from Liverpool, ”Mokwena tells KICK OFF in this exclusive interview.

The Million Rand Man

At just 20 years old, Carlo Scott became the first R1-million signing in the Premier Soccer League when he switched from Ajax Cape Town to Gauteng giants Mamelodi Sundowns in January 2001. With extraordinary amounts of cash thrown about in transfers now the norm, Scott reflects what it was like for him to earn a big-money move and the pressures thereof.
